Fresh and delicious! They keep things easy by having a fairly simple menu so if you get overwhelmed by many options this is a great choice! It's next to the college so it's best to order for pickup because they can have longer wait times when dining in.

Harissa wings are especially delicious. Long time family institution here in HP. Comfortable fast casual seating

Stopped in for dinner. The falafel wrap and fries are excellent. Good customer service.

Randomly discovered this place while looking for a quick meal in the area and later made a point to go out of my way for a return visit. The food is delicious - I absolutely love the Falafel Plate. Service is fine, and it's a nice, casual ambiance for sitting down to enjoy your meal.

I went in there for the first time I've always walked by, but I thought I would finally give it a try and it was so good. I was actually very surprised on how amazing their wings are not only is the food good but the people that worked there are super nice And helpful patient and they even have really great deals throughout the week. I found a new spot. I am excited to keep going back.

I love love love me some cedars! This hands down is the best Mediterranean food I've had. It's such a great go too and it's reasonably priced. Each and every staff member is very pleasant. Very helpful and greeting you with a smile. There are options to dine in or do carryout. I've done both and enjoy each one. I've tried a few thumbs on their menu but have ventured off too much because I'm stuck on one meal lol. It has me in a choke hold!! But when I go back I plan to try something different!

We originally checked out this spot for a comedy show, but decided to come early for the food. We got falafel, chicken wings, Arab swag tacos, & watermelon sugar. The Falafel was nice and crisp on the outside, but soft on the inside, and I loved it with the dill sauce that came with it. The flavor in the Arab swag tacos & chicken wings was PHENOMENAL! I highly recommend this spot. Entrees are $14-16 at this time. Cash & card accepted. The staff was super nice and welcoming. The parking lot was large with plenty of spots, and free. If you get a chance to check out their comedy show, do yourself a favor and go. 50% of all proceeds benefit Palestine, and the comedians were hilarious! It was a great show for the $20 price tag and went about 2 hours. This is a place I will definitely be back to when I'm in the Hyde Park area.

Consistently a great spot for Mediterranean food. I appreciate that the sides compliment the main dish and that they are an even amount. For instance, in the falafel bowl, the grilled veggies balance out the amount of rice given. They have some of the best falafel I have ever had, and the sauce that comes with it takes the dish to another level. The entree portions are generally large, but not enough so that it can't be finished in one sitting. I've also had their chicken shawarma wrap, shepherd's salad and the cookie (sign up for their text / loyalty updates for your first free one!), and nothing was disappointing. Ordering via call-in elicits the quickest service for me, and the restaurant is always clean (though I never see it busy, which leads me to believe most of their service is takeout).
